Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Sep 11, 2014 5:18 pm Hi, Long time member, on and off for a while!! A few years ago, I was going to build a new house at the back on the same block of land. Until now, I finally decided to knock it all down and build 3 units. I live in Springvale, VIC. I am very new to this and not sure what is the process going to be. I spoke to a few drafters recently, one got back to me with a written quote. I don't know whether the price is right or not. Could you please advise about the price? and if possible please advise what I should do. It will be much appreciated. Below is the quote _____________________________________________________________________________________ SERVICE REQUIRED FEE STRUCTURE DESIGNS $ 7,500.00 SITE ANALYSIS $ 1,100.00 DESIGN RESPONSE $ 1,100.00 PHOTO REPORT $ 500.00 RES CODE RESPONSE $ 500.00 SHADOW DIAGRAM $ 500.00 COUNCIL LIASON $ 500.00 TOTAL $ 11,700.00 GST $ 1,170.00 TOTAL QUTATION AGREEMENT $ 12,870.00 NOTE: A DEPOSIT OF $3000.00 + G.S.T TO BE PAID AT COMMENCEMENT OF PRELIMINARY DESIGN.

I thought the rule of thumb was about $2000 - $2500 per unit just 2 years ago, just over half that price, based on the fact that I used to do just that for a while. Keep shopping I suggest.

Whist the other one quoted around 14-16k. I will see a few more then go further from there. Thank you once again. Give Jonathan a call. Tell him you know me.
